Biography

New York based artist Peri Schwartz, received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Boston University and a Masters of Fine Arts from Queens College, NY.

Within her New York studio, Schwartz finds inspiration from her drafting table, bottles, jars, paintbrushes and windows. With a careful eye, Schwartz continuously rearranges these objects into complex and abstracted compositions. By breaking up viewing planes and laying down flat blocks of color, Schwartz brings abstraction to these representational works.

Schwartz work can be found in the Corcoran Gallery, the Fogg Art Museum, the Boston Museum, the British Museum and the New York Public Library.
